Friends

Recently, we had a person get really friendly with us. Wanted to hang around a lot- called us friend.

I lost my job and suddenly, our friend always had other things to do, and people who threw money at him, to do it with.

Recently, I became gainfully employed with a federal job. Guess who showed up again?

The damage has been done, our 'friendship' will never be. Alas, I am not a giver of second chances in this area. Life is to short to waste on people who are lukewarm. I spit them out.

Harsh? Nope. Smart? Self-preserving? Economical of my time? You betcha.

Do or shut up.
